Il 21 febbraio 2026 chiude “Retina – (before the brain) la mostra che con i lavori esposti presso la galleria 
dr. julius art projects – dedicata all’arte minimalista e concettuale – mi ha accompagnato in queste ultime settimane.
La mostra mette in gioco la percezione. Il momento.
I lavori di Carlo Battisti (la serie “Rètina”) spinge chi guarda alle sue foto per il verso giusto ma con gli oggetti a testa in giu 
a ripensare al nostro modo di vedere pensando. 
Ho reagito ai lavori di Carlo con la mia serie di oggetti e frasi dal titolo: “In Womb – im HInterkopf“.
Dopo l’azione e la lettura avvenuta il 24 gennaio presso la galleria, con i galleristi Christiane e Matthias abbiamo deciso di fissare quanto accaduto in una pubblicazione. Il 21 febbraio sarà disponibile un assaggio di quello che verrà, ossia durante il finissage saranno subito disponibili al pubblico copie dei testi che ho letto il 24 gennaio. 
Sono felice di distribuire le copie di pensieri a nuovi curiosi e a chi segue il mio lavoro da anni (a proposito, in questo ultimo lavoro mi sembra di unire tutto: il corpo, il movimento, il pensiero, gli oggetti, addirittura la pittura ad olio!) 
Felice di vedervi il 21 Febbraio dalle 15 alle 19 presso la galleria nella Leberstrasse 60 a Berlino.

 

Am 21. Februar 2026 endet die Ausstellung „Rètina – (before the brain)“, die mich in den vergangenen Wochen mit Werken von Carlo Battisti und weiteren Künstlerinnen und Künstlern der Galerie für minimalistische und konzeptuelle Kunst begleitet hat.
Die Ausstellung rückt die Wahrnehmung ins Zentrum. Den Moment.
Carlo Battistis Arbeiten aus der Serie Foto Rètina fordern die Betrachtenden heraus, seine Fotografien auf besondere Weise zu sehen: mit auf dem Kopf stehenden Motiven, die unsere gewohnte Art des Sehens und Denkens infrage stellen. Auf Carlos Werke habe ich mit meiner Serie von Objekten und Texten reagiert: in Womb – im Hinterkopf.
Im Anschluss an die Veranstaltung und Lesung am 24. Januar mit den Galeristen Christiane und Matthias haben wir beschlossen, das Erlebte in einer Publikation festzuhalten. Am 21. Februar wird es eine Vorschau darauf geben – in Form von Exemplaren der Texte, die ich am 24. Januar gelesen habe.
Ich freue mich sehr, meine Gedanken mit all jenen zu teilen, die meine Arbeit seit Jahren begleiten. (Übrigens habe ich das Gefühl, in dieser jüngsten Arbeit alles zusammenzuführen: den Körper, die Bewegung, die Gedanken, sogar die Ölmalerei!)
Ich freue mich darauf, Sie am 21. Februar von 15 bis 19 Uhr in der Galerie in der Leberstraße 60 in Berlin begrüßen zu dürfen.

On February 21, 2026, the exhibition “Rètina – (before the brain)” comes to a close. Over the past weeks, the show—featuring works by Carlo Battisti and other artists from the gallery dedicated to minimalist and conceptual art—has accompanied and inspired me.
The exhibition places perception at its center. The moment itself.
Carlo Battisti’s works, particularly his Foto Rètina series, invite viewers to look at his photographs “correctly” — with the objects turned upside down — challenging us to reconsider how we see and how we think. In response to Carlo’s works, I presented my own series of objects and phrases: in Womb – im Hinterkopf.
Following the event and reading on January 24 with gallery owners Christiane and Matthias, we decided to document what unfolded in a publication. On February 21, a preview will be available: copies of the texts I read that evening.
I am delighted to share these reflections with those who have followed my work over the years. In this most recent body of work, I feel that many strands come together — body, movement, thought, even oil painting.

I look forward to welcoming you on February 21, from 3 to 7 p.m., at the gallery on Leberstrasse 60, Berlin.
